According to foreign media reports, High Power Charging, a division of German automaker Mercedes Benz, announced on July 17th that they have reached an important cooperation with Starbucks to deploy Mercedes Benz's electric vehicle fast charging stations in more than 100 Starbucks stores across the United States.

High Power Charging stated that the first phase of the partnership will focus on Starbucks stores along Interstate 5, which will install electric vehicle charging stations with a power output of up to 400 kilowatts. Interstate 5 is an important travel corridor connecting Canada and Mexico, which will greatly enhance the charging convenience of electric vehicles along the West Coast.

These charging stations will be prioritized for placement in core urban areas and areas with relatively scarce charging station resources to meet the growing demand for electric vehicle charging. Both parties also plan to determine more cooperation locations in the future, including expanding to the East Coast market to further broaden the coverage of the charging network.
Starbucks has always been committed to combining renewable clean energy projects with communities with inadequate infrastructure. Our partnership with Mercedes Benz is another important step in expanding our electric vehicle charging network, and we look forward to customers charging their electric vehicles in a more environmentally friendly way while enjoying Starbucks coffee, "said Michael Kobori, Chief Sustainability Officer of Starbucks
High Power Charging has taken its first step in building charging stations in 2023, as part of the department's $1 billion investment plan. Since then, they have opened over a dozen charging stations in multiple states including Texas, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Kentucky.

High Power Charging plans to expand its charging station network to nearly half of the states in the United States within the next 12 to 18 months. It is expected that by the end of 2030, the department will establish approximately 10000 charging stations in the United States, Europe, China, and other core markets, providing strong support for the popularization of electric vehicles and green travel.
